Description

This antique hand-painted porcelain figurine, designed as a vase with a cherub, was crafted by Richard Eckert in Dresden, Germany, in 1909. The vase is styled as two truncated tree trunks, with a cherub sitting atop, playing a flute. The piece is delicately glazed and hand-painted, featuring a lifelike expression and intricate details, showcasing the remarkable craftsmanship of German artisans. The vase is further embellished with finely crafted, applied flowers, woven into a garland, adding both aesthetic appeal and refinement. The polychrome hand-painting provides the item with a beautiful three-dimensional effect. Functionally, the piece can serve as a flower vase or a pencil holder. The manufacturer's hallmark is present on the base.

Dresdner Kunstverlag (Dresden Art Publishing House) was founded by Richard Eckert, who had previously worked at the renowned Aelteste Volkstedter Porzellanfabrik AG in Volkstedt. In 1909, he employed highly skilled craftsmen and opened the small studio Dresdener Kunstverlag Richard Eckert, which operated for only nine years, until 1918. He produced figurines in styles akin to the most famous porcelain manufacturers of the time, matching their level of quality.

As noted, the studio was small and short-lived, making pieces bearing his mark rare treasures today.

Dresden porcelain is characterised by delicate modelling, intricate hand-painted details, and often features figurative elements such as putti, cherubs, and floral appliques, originating from the artistic hub of Dresden, Germany.

These pieces are crafted from hard-paste porcelain, shaped through intricate hand-moulding and slip-casting, and finished with detailed overglaze hand-painting and gilded highlights.

Authenticity is typically verified by examining factory underglaze or overglaze marks, the fineness of the hand-painted detailing, slight variations inherent in handmade production, and the natural ageing of the glaze.

These items can be displayed as focal points on mantelpieces, within glass-fronted cabinets, or as sophisticated accents on bookshelves, contrasting effectively with modern minimalist surroundings.

Clean gently with a soft, dry brush or microfibre cloth to remove dust. Avoid using water, chemical cleaners, or abrasive materials, and keep the piece out of direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.
